Can you clarify why you think my algorithm would not cover your case?  (I
do, your "fruit" title would be used instead of going into the shadow
content)

I did not fully understand your sentence, can you clarify?  There is no
prejudice against remote files in the spec or in what I sent.

You have also repeatedly asked for end users to be involved in making the
specification.  Perhaps you can take a page in the SVG IG wiki to start
putting down ideas of what would be in your microformat and what wouldn't.
I'd like to understand your idea better.

As of a month ago, it is now possible to add <title> and <desc> to any
element in Inkscape (this fix should be in the next Inkscape release cycle,
it has not yet been released publicly), though there are bugs surrounding
it.  On the SVG IG wiki, I have started to list out bugs against
implementations.  Please add to this list for tracking purposes if you are
aware of others.
